Try using a cleaner. I went to youtube and got some ideas about cleaning the inkjet nozzles. You can find a cleaner kit (Liquid and Syringe) on ebay.
You will need to remove the cartridges and slide head to the middle. Make sure you get a paper towel underneath the head, just fold the paper towel so that it is thin enough to slide underneath the head.
You can use a water dropper to put a few drops of water and alcohol (If you don't have the cleaning kit). I tried using alcohol, some people say don't use alcohol, some say use Windex, but I just tried water and alcohol.
Drop alcohol on top of nozzle. Wait about 10 minutes. Towel will soak the alcohol and water. Insert cartridges and try printing.
I had the same problem, yellow and magenta was not printing. After researching on the internet, I decided to try cleaning it myself with alcohol. I was able to get the magenta to print, but yellow still is not printing, so now I am waiting for the cleaner kit with the syringe. The alcohol did make the other colors come out richer and crisper, so it must have done something right.
Anyhow, let me know what you decide to do and if it works for you.

Are the ink cartridges new or were they ever refilled/remanufactured? How often do you print with those two colors?
